How embarrassing -- I'll eventually get it right. Florida's U.S. Senators are Senator-Elect Bill Nelson (D) (whom I voted for just a few days ago), and Senator Bob Graham (D).

Other than a re-vote for Palm Beach County (which has a high percentage of elderly Democrats, and which Bush will vigorously oppose), I suggest they throw out Florida, which is possible if this is still undecided when the Electors meet.

I am a supporter of Mr. Gore, but I would like to think that I would have these same feelings about this problem no matter what the election outcome. Even Mr. Buchanan, the beneficiary of some of the incorrect votes, said today that he does not want votes that were not intended for him. This problem is a threat to the integrity of our democratic process, regardless of who benefits from it or from correcting it.
